1 : VOLUME 4 NUMBER 33 STONY BROOK, N.Y. TUESDAY, MARCH., 97 _tonv At ostcage Pad PB.lL h Ne. York Meal Plan To Be Optonal By CHRS CARTY The housng offce announced yesterday the approval of an amendment to the food servce contract by the State whch wll allow students to opt off the meal plan and for Prophet Food Company to operate several cash cafeteras and one or more board cafeteras. Approval was announced late yesterday afternoon n a memorandum crculated to all cafeteras declarng that "the transton wll take place on March 7." The memo stated that "after extensve delberaton and revew by campus offcals, local counsel and the comptroller's offce, the present food servce contract wll be al*ered," but was careful to note that those students presently on the meal plan are "responsble for payment." The alteraton n the food contract has been under consderaton by State offcals of the SUNY Central Admnstraton and the Audt and Control Agency snce the semester break. Pror to the proposal the housng offce conducted a survey whch ndcated that a substantal number of students then on the meal plan would prefer to drop ther contract. There are currently approxmately 8 students on the board plan. A student who wshes to be removed from the enrollment wll be requred to fll out a form certfyng that he desres to termnate hs contract and that he understands hs responsblty for board payments through March 6 and to then submt t to the Bursar's offce on the specfed date. The amendment calls for Prophet Foods to 'operate two dnng halls for contract boslersantr to operate three dnng halls on a cash bass." Exactly whch dnng halls wll be cash and whch board wll be determned by the number of students who choose next week to reman on the plan. A subscrpton of more than students to the contract wll, accordng to the amendment nsure two board cafeteras. Should the enrollment fall below that fgure, Prophet Foods s authorzed to cut back to a sngle board cafetera. The exact locaton of the board and cash cafeteras wll be determned durng the week of March 5 by the dstrbuton of those students remanng on the food plan. Food Servce Drector Monty Zullo sad yesterday that f two cafeteras open as board operatons they wll probably be n Kelly and G quads. He cted the large blocs of students on the meal plan n both quads as the prme consderatons for the placement of the board cafeteras. He expressed some doubt, however, that there would be enough students left on the plan to keep even two cafeteras open. He declned to speculate whch would be the sngle board cafetera should the number be reduced to one. Accordng to Zullo, the forthcomng cash cafeteras wll result n at least workers beng lad off. Zullo clams that hs payroll fsts approxmately 4 workers. The layoffs wll probably become effectve next week durng the changeover perod. The Drug and Hosptal Workers Unon, Local 99 has prevously ssued statements ndcatng that they wll stage a strke should any of ther members be lad off. A relable source has sad that n ongong dscussons between Unon representatves and Prophet Food representatves the Unon has agreed to strke only n the event of a lay off of more that members. Admnstraton offcals have sad that should a strke occur the Unversty would procure an njuncton through Prophet Food to nsure that students remanng on the meal plan are served. A~wofcl bee^ comment **^6, «e e Ago*t~^<~* n a related matter, several dormtory fres and the resultng suspenson of a number of students for volatng Unversty Housng regulaton n recent weeks has generated concern among admnstrators and students about the results of approval of such a plan and the probable ncrease n the number of students cookng n the dormtores. Drector of Housng Robert Chason sad yesterday that the Unversty would have to ncrease the penaltes "wth some knd of equty" for cookng n rooms and sutes. He also noted that t s about tme that the Unversty and the State realzed that there must be some ncrease n cookng facltes n the dormtores to compensate for the ncreased number of students usng the applances. However, he also cted the austerty program as a major hndrance to the nstallaton of any addtonal facltes. has boardng students passng through, whle many resdent students (bottom) wll attempt to trv ther hand at cookng on lmted Doesschate Elected Polty Presdent photos by Robert F. Cohen Phl Doesschate has beaten John Faxon n a runoff electon for Polty Presdent by a majorty of only 39 votes, an electon board spokesman announced last nght. The former junor representatve was forced nto the runoff wth the relatvely unknown Faxon after falng to wn a clear vctory n the ntal Polty electon, held last Thursday wth sx canddates vyng for the post. Meanwhle n another runoff contest, Steve Marcus has bettered Robert Taylor for a poston on thp Stony Brook Unon Governng Board. Marcus talled 38 votes to Taylor's 433, wth 499 "No" votes regstered. The "No's' represented about 5 percent of the votes cast n that contest. Doesschate's vctory over Faxon was by 57 votes to 98, but there were 7 "No" votes. Some students have questoned whether a "No" vote on a ballot s legal, and Faxon could request a recount by the end of ths week. f tle electon board dsregards the "No" votes, then Doesschate has a clear vctory. But f t decdes to count them, another runoff mght be held to determne the clear vctor. The questonnare that students were asked to fll out at the polls are stll beng tabulatedand results wll not be known at least untl late today. The questons of how Polty money s to be spent n the comng year was only a straw poll by the Budget Commttee, not a bndng referendum. The results of Thursday's Polty Judcary electon have not yet been valdated. The turnout n ths runoff electon was approxmately the same as n Thursday's ballottng, wth a lttle more than votes cast.

3 March, 97 fhoken: Glass doon, whch wee the man entrane to the Unpn buldng, are now boarded up. There has been consderable damage to many of the areas of the buldng, and.d. checks have been nsttuted to allevate the problem of buldng securty. photo bylrobert Wesenfeld Page 3 $4 D Thefts and Vandalsm n Unlon By CHARLE VERMLYEA Stony Brook Unon offcals have reported that there has been more than $4 n vandalsm and addtonal pages, nce sad. There s usually only one page to patrol the buldng at the present tme. Unon offcals hope to have three pages at work thefts n the Unon buldng snce September. durng peak hours n the buldng durng weekends..d. checks have also been nsttuted at Unon entrances. Mchael nce, Unon operatons manager, sad last week that vandalsm had been extremely hgh for the last three weekends. Asde from the usual number of door knobs, locks, ext sgns, fre extngushers mssng or broken, the Unon bathrooms have been vandalzed. nce sad that obscentes have been scrbbled on bathroom mrrors wth a glass cutter and varous tems of tolet equpment have been damaged. He noted that durng the last three weekends there have been unusually ncreased numbers of nonunversty personnel makng use of the Unon's facltes. Whle the broken doors to the buldng are obvous to anyone enterng the buldng by the boarded up entrances, perhaps not so obvous to the casual passersby are the mssng lamps, sand urns, and mssng furnture whch nce says have been stolen. The operatons manager also sad that several months ago some students ntmdated a Unon page and walked off wth two coffee tables. nce also reported that two electrc typewrters have been stolen from Unon offces; another was stolen but reappeared at the Unon's front door one mornng. Last Wednesday nght someone took advantage of a broken wndow n the southwest door of the Unon whch was boarded up. The unknown ntruder knocked n the boards and crowbarred ther way nto the Unon's game room and made off wth about $ from the sx pnball machnes located there. To check the ncreasng rate of vandalsm and theft, the Unon admnstraton s plannng to hre Plans are also beng formulated for a complete changeover of the buldng's lock system, whch offcals say has many faults and possbly excess keys. Offcals are also consderng the nstallaton of scssor gates at strategc areas such as the entrance to the art gallery, between the lounge and the cafeteras and across the counter of the Man Desk. Due to a lack of funds, these plans and repars on doors, bathrooms, walls and furnture wll not take place n the mmedate future due to austerty. A budget, however, has been prepared and wll shortly be submtted foralbany'sapproval. Stony Brook Unon Drector Robert C. Moeller reported earler ths month as the buldng celebrated ts frst annversary that the year 97 left the Unon wth a substantal budget defct, stemmng largely from the Unon Food Servce coupled wth the State's austerty program. The most serous effect of the funds cut s ts lmtaton on staff sze, Moeller sad. John Plkngton, weekend manager of the Unon s another Unon offcal dstraught over rsng vandalsm and theft. "To walk nto a room and see somethng rpped off or damaged causes a feelng of frustraton and anger to run through me," he sad. Plkngton sees hs job as tryng to help save the buldng for the students, but then seeng students' neglectng and n some cases destroyng the buldng has dsgusted hm. "t's the students' buldng and t's up to them," he sad. Rngcycle Report A Fee for Communty Acto Called Outrageous By ALAN J. WAX After meetng Saturday wth members of the Rngcycle nvestgaton Commsson, Evan Strager, the fnancal manager of the summer concert seres called the commsson's report outrageous and sad that the nvestgators were rresponsble for conductng an nvestgaton wthout questonng those people ntmately nvolved n the project. Strager, who graduated last year s former Polty vce presdent. He sad, he returned to Stony Brook Saturday to "make my opnons about Rngeycle clear. " He sad that the commsson's falure to queston persons on the producton staff of the summer concert seres was "more rresponsble than anybody n Rngcycle." Robert F. Cohen, EdtornChef of Statesman and a member of the Rngeycle Commsson sad he would contnue the nvestgaton even f hs colleagues dd not. The Commsson whch nvestgated the summer concert seres questoned the actons and fnancal management of the project n a report released last Sunday. Other members of the commsson were Clff Ther, Peter Coles and Mchael Leberman. Coles, who s also a member of the Polty judcary sad he would lke to contnue the nvestgaton but he has other commtments. "We're (commsson members) not salared and we don't have all the tme n the world." Because we're also students, he sad, "there were a number of problems n gettng touch wth them (members of the producton staff); t was a matter of convenence manly wth people offcampus." Coles suggested that the dstrct attorney's offce would be n a better poston to do ths type of nvestgaton (that Strager suggested). The report has been turned over to the Suffolk County Dstrct Attorney and s currently beng studed. Coles also suggested that by allowng producton staff members to make comments about entres n the books of the concert seres would allow them to form albes. "Even f someone lke Evan walked n and gave us all the explanatons n the world (about the books) we wouldn't know what to do wth them because the (Student) Senate gave us no money for bookkeepers or lawyers. Strager sad, "We had records, they weren't the greatest records. could have kept better records, but f was asked to explan them would have been very happy to. thnk know more about Rngeycle than any of the four people on the commsson multpled by an nfnte factor." The Rngcycle Concert seres, cosponsored by P. Ballantne and Sons, a New Jersey brewng company, was nstgated to replensh the Polty reserve fund whch was close to bankruptcy as a result of last May's free Jefferson Arplane concert whch was attended by an estmated 6, persons. n a related matter, John Halpern, Drector of the Summer Sesson, sad n a letter to the edtor (see page 7) that the commsson's report was "smply untrue" n statng that hs offce was "responsble for collectng and dspensng" the summer student servce fee. n hs letter he sad that Clff Ther, a member of the commsson decded to gnore the facts about admnstraton of the summer actvtes fee. Ther who was n New York Cty, could not be reached for comment. The Offce of the Summer Sesson was the only Unversty offce cted n the Commsson's 6page report. The report sad ths offce was "fnancally rresponsble." By NANCY CALLANAN and AUDREY KANTROWTZ The Student Councl, on Frday, drected the Polty Treasurer to nclude a $4 communty acton fee n the proposed mandatory core student actvtes fee. Meanwhle, Student Councl members say they wll establsh a communty acton board to admnster all groups engaged n communty acton programs. Communty acton programs, those engaged n socal, educatonal, cultural and recreatonal actvtes outsde the Unversty, nclude the Suffolk Ctzen, a newspaper, Wder Horzons, Central slp and Kng; Park Volunteers, Long sland Farm Workers Servce Center and the South Bronx teachng project. Arthur (P) Charo, the sophomore class representatve, sad that the Councl had receved a mandate from the student body through a referendum held last November. The student body passed by a landslde a referendum that sought to set asde $4 of the student actvtes fee to be used for communty acton programs. Charo's moton was passed by a 5 vote wth Polty Treasurer S. Clve Rchard the sole dssentng vote. Rchard sad, " am certan that the Budget Commttee and the treasurer wll take the mandates of the Councl and the Senate nto consderaton." The Polty Budget Commttee s currently workng on the 977 budget. Rchard sad, " wll go post haste n the drecton of a $3 fee. f you don't lke t, change t. To me t doesn't matter what the Councl does after propose the budget." Snce the majorty of the consttuency wants the $4 fee, he sad, the Student Councl can put t on as a separate mandatory fee. Actng Polty Presdent Glenn Bock sad, "t wouldn't be a good dea to go out on a varety of tangental mandatory fees." Charo sad that the $4 communty acton fee would go to a specal fund, amountng to approxmately $5,. Ths amount s more than double what the communty acton projects receved ths year. n addton, 5 percent of the communty acton fund would be set asde for the summer months when there are no ncomng funds. Each communty related group must submt a budget request to the Board, who would then submt for Student Senate approval. Communty Acton projects currently funded are: *Suffolk Ctzena newspaper whose am s to brdge the zap between the students of the nversty and the people lvng n the outsde communty. Ths paper, free from any poltcal afflatons, s dstrbuted throughout Suffolk County n an effort to make resdents aware of the facts the mass meda and press delete. Last year those runnng t requested $4 for operaton. *Wder Horzonsa program whch seeks to provde remedal academc servce for chldren comng from poverty areas throughout Suffolk County. Polty has helped to sponsor ths program for the past three years, allocatng $33 for the 977 year, half of whch has gone for food, and the other for supples and recreaton. Accordng to Phelx Baxter, coordnator of the program, fundng s not the problem, rather recrutng enough students to work wth the chldren s. There are only 7 students n the program workng wth the 45 chldren every Saturday, creatng a rato of about to 3 as opposed to the desred rato of to. *Central slp and Kngs Park volunteerswho travel to hosptals every Monday through Thursday nght. Hundreds of students partcpate n ths program, and, accordng to Stephane Jansen, vcepresdent of the group, "The program s workng out beautfully, but fundng s the bggest problem." She explaned that volunteers have had to put out ther own money for supples. Last year they requested $7, but are requestng $8 from Polty for next year. *The Long sland Mgrant Farm Workers Servce Centerwhch provdes a breakfast program for mgrant workers, and has students travelng out to the center each day to help out. Three thousand dollars was donated to ths project, but was reported last week by Center offcals to have been part of the allegedly mssng $5,. *The South Bronx Teachers Programwhch was establshed last year and nvolves teachers resdng n the communtes where they student teach. Fve hundred dollars was requested last year to support the project. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh sure, there's a teachn or two, and a protest demonstraton here and there, but so far relatvely lttle has been heard from the naton's large student populaton concernng the nvason of Laos and ts warwdenng mplcatons.

By MdJanuary the numbers had dwndled to 8. Now wth the approval of the amendment to the food servce contract another 5 students at a conservatve extmate wll probably opt off the plan. That rounds out to 37 students cookng n the dorms. The ramfcatons of 37 students cookng n the dorms s somethng not to be scoffed at, nor gnored. As much as many of us would lke to wsh t so, the food problem, and ts accompanments sn't a bad dream. t won't go away. f anythng, t wll now worsen.

On June, 97, Dr. Alan Entne, Assstant Academc Vce Presdent, wrote letters to Poltv treasurer Student Servce Fee Commttee, of whch am charman, asked Mr. Rchard for an accountng of last year's fees. and agan a *. * r* %S M. staf. thnk t s qute clear that the Offce of the Summer Sesson s not responsble for any fnancal m anagement that may have occurred last year. Newsday, at least, managed to get the rght verson of the story. n an artcle publshed on February 3, 97 the same day as the ssue of the Statesman to whch have been referrng appered Newsday says n part: "A commttee of four students, asked by the student government of the State Unversty at Stony Brook to look nto the management of a seres of rock concerts, ssued a report hghly crtcal of the studentrun seres." "The Commttee sad the fveman student board that ran the concerts kept 'scanty fnancal records' that made t almnost mpossble to determne any loases the concerts mght have ncurred." "The Unversty exercses no drect control over student spendng but a unversty spokesman sad summer sesson offcals also had asked for an accountng of the student summer budget ad had receved no response." thnk ths states the case qute farly. regret the necessty of wrtng ths letter. The fact s, howevers that the con&wwwa hced entdly by Polty and not by ths offce. Polty wshed to be free of admnstratve supervson, and fnancal rresponsblty apparently was the result John Halpern Dretor of the Summer SeSo_ Comm Member Rends To the Edtor: Mr. Hlpern, n W leter above, clearly states that Polty was permtted to colct the summer fee and was asked for an accountng of the dsbursement of funds. But hy was Polty permtted to collect the funds wthout gudelnes, snce they were Unversty fees, and not a student actvtes fee? And y were the fees selectvely enforeed? There s no queston that Polty was rresponsble n ts dsbursement of funds to the Summer SAB who n turn donated ts money to the Rnugycle Seres. But why dd the Offce of the Summer Sesson permt the contnued use of these funds when ths was happenng The only way to vew ths s that the Summer Sesson gave Mr. Rchard a carte blanche for use of the funds. Sure, Polty could have gven an accountng of where the money was spent, but t was the Unversty's responsblty, as the orgnator and enforcer of the summerfee, to see that the funds were spent properly.

8 . Page 8 March, 97 Mchener's No vel Of Ken} Hstory'' F State Z <** O O By BRL STOLLER What really happened at Kent State last May? Don't ask ames Mdener and the Ra s Dgest, although they swear n prnt they now. For although Mchener has wrtten and publshed n the Dgest, under ther sponsorshp and wth ther astance, a two padt feature on the events n Oho, t's a story that adds lttle and subtracts a lot from what has emerged prevously as the true story of Kent State. The Reader's Dgest s farly well known to have a slght lmp to the rght as well as a "we know what's rght for Amerca" atttude, and so t comes as no srprse that ths dted verson of events leans heavly on the "professonal revolutonary outsde agtator" vewpont so popularly msconceved by Mddle Amerca. Even before the merts of the Dgest's case can be dscussed, t can be questoned why the edtors had to commn ther own study, rather than republsh, albet condensed, the specal report of the Presdent's Commsson on Campus Unrest (Scranton Commsson). That commsson was sponsored and supported by the government most beloved n Pleasantvlle, t reled heavly on evdence grnered by one of ther favorte guest author's agences, the F.B.., and t condemned those responsble for volence. The Dgest clams the "project" began n a casual conversaton between an edtor and another edtor's kd brother, home from Kent State last sprngs Senor Edtor Andrew Jones heard that one student's verson and "sensed that there were ponts n hs account that dd not entrely square wth news stores." But dd Jones know f that sngular student had been close to the events of May 4? He doesn't say. Jones went to Kent and "presented hs report to edtoral headquarters; the decson was made to tackle the project." Are they talr ng about a magazne artcle or a mltary nvason? Tackle they dd, some of t wth the help of a female researcher whose credentals nclude a recent graduaton from Vanderblt Unversty and the fact that "she was often seen returnng from ntervews perched on the rear seat of a motorcycle" For the Dgest, the 8 pages of F.B.. reports, the study of events at Kent by Commsson nvestgators, and the days of open hearngs n that Oho college town by the Comsson tself were not enough. Because. apparently, they reached the "wrong' conclusons. After all, Spro called the report "pablum" and Dck Nxon just about gnored t. So, n the same ssue where an artcle on Angela Davs by a Dgest staffer presents a stacked deck of evdence aganst her and then says "a court of law wll fnd [her]...nnocent To wrte that story, they called upon James A. Mchener, and then they prnted t n a two part "'condensed" verson of a soon to be released eader's Dgest Press book, the frst nstallment n the current March Dgest ssue. Novelst Mchener s best known for hs books lke "Hawa" and '"he Source," where he has taken vvdly hstorcal settngs and based novels upon them, novels so real that he has had to put a dsclamer n one book remndng the reader that t s ndeed a work of fcton. But now, wth a fnsncal and nvestgatve assst from Reader's Dgest, Mchener has moved from the hstorcal novel to the novel hstory. A lot of the evdence that Mchener presents s not new and a lot of the "new" evdence s hardly startlng. But what Mchener has done, for the most part, s retell the Kent State story n a dramatc way, recastng the roles of certan people, plang promnence on dfferent perspectves, changng some facts, and, general, slantng the story to ft the nterpretaton that "professonal revolutonres" were responsble for the events. A comparson of the Mchener pece and the report of the Scranton Commsson shows that the Commsson just sad what happened whle Mchener descrbed t, and even where the facts are essentally the same, Mchener's nterpretaton flavors them. But beyond that, the most serous crtcsm of the Dgest artcle must come from some of ts "fcs"/ assumptons,and sources. Ads for the March ssue say that t brngs to lght testmony from "key people who have remaned obscure untl now." A lot of what these people have to say mght better have been left obscure. Mchener endlessly quotes conversaton overheard by people n crowds and "relable observers" and draws mportant conclusons from some of theme Mchener talks about a bonfre that led to a se mdemonstraton n the streets of downtown Kent on May. t happened on North Water Street, where, Mchener says, are located the "sleazy bars" students frequent. "So notorous are these bars," he ntones, "that on Frday or Saturday nghts t s not unusual to fnd hundreds of students who have come to them from across the state." What he doesn't tell you s that the easer lquor laws n the Cty of Kent draw young people, ncludng students, from all Oho. Hs "relable observers" for the events there are Kent students who have grown up n town, one of themthe son of a professor who s also a star "wtness." These three students are L"delghtful," "handsome," and generally descrbed qute dfferently than the "hppes n buckskn. suts and beads, young grl runaways," L and other who, he mples, are responsble for or gulty"; where the Dgest tself wrtes a the trouble. defense of ts famous promotonal sweepstakes Mchener neatly leaves much out about the whch recently came under attack by the t North Water ncdent. He fals to menton that t Federal Trade Commsson; and where the next t was the order of the mayor to close all the bars nstallment of Mddle Amerca's medcal text t after the ncdent began whch sent hundreds presents " Am Joe's Spne," the Reader's Dgest more nto the street durng the mnor trashng features "Kent State 'Campus Under Fre' that was occurrng, and that these people, whch they have blled n advertsements and revcted from establshments where they had pad press releases as the story of "what utrul for a nght of entertanment, were beng hustled happened, and why." off the streets by polce, when they had absolutely nothng to do wth the petty malcous ncdents that a few persons carred out. How many of these evctees were n "rotng" crowd that caused the mayor to ask for the Natonal Guard the next day? Speakng about "professonal revolutonares" whom he clams ncted the days of protest, he ponts to Mark Rudd, who had been there n 968, and to Yppe Jerry Rubn who vsted n Aprl, 97. Rubn told an audence of (less than percent of Kent State's student body), "the frst part of the Yppe program s to kll your parents... mean that qute lterally." But Mchener doesn't report, as the Scranton Commsson dd, that "Rubn drew only tepd response when he urged students to jon 'the revoluton."' Mchener makes a bg case out of a local crash pad called the Haunted House, clamng that t regularly housed "outsde agtators" and that SDS rads on the campus were staged from there. Hs only evdence s that one SDS sympathzer lved there. Here's more "evdence": a polceman reportedly told the mayor on Saturday that he had spotted "two carloads of agtators comng n from Chcago." Just don't ask how he knew they were agtators. The evdence aganst Mchener's "evdence" s damnng. He obvously reled upon every bt of hearsay and assumpton he could get hs hands on. Sometmes he's blatantly way off track. A thousand students marchng around campus Saturday nght toward the ROTC buldng somehow becomes "a mob of...roarng over the crest." The buldng was later gnted by a handful of mltants. The "professonalsm" of the crowd there s supposedly ponted up by the fact that a man wth a camera, takng a flash pcture, was knocked down by several of the crowd, who took hs flm. But does only a "professonal revolutonary" take a spontaneous precauton to nsure that hs pcture n a crowd won't become state's evdence, or do other people know that for years polcemen have posed as newsmen to gather evdence? And worse even than all of Mchener's slantng and mplcatons s the fact that the Dgest tself has a crculaton, as they boast, of 9 mllon copes n 3 languages. (Mchener hmself, the Dgest says, has publshed tens of mllons of copes n 53 languages nce match.) Reader's Dgest s gospel to many, who wll beleve ths commercal yellowsh journalsm, wth all ts antyouth and antstudent mplcatons. The frst nstallment of the two part seres ends wth Saturday, May, two days before the kllngs at Kent. Consderng how Mchener and the Dgest have handled the relatvely less controversal apsects of the events pror to the shootngs, the coverage of the tragedy tself may be father from the truth than the truth tself can allow.

Zpser's deas stemmed from hs past experences at Deep Sprngs Jr. College n Calforna and Rothchld from her experences at Stony Brook. t was conceved out of a "belef that there s somethng academcally wrong wth the Unversty. What you learn and what you are, are not separable," sad Zpser. The college began n 968 as a resdental program of ndependent study. Each student had to choose an ndvdual project and was to be guded by a prvate nstructor. Durng the sprng months of 969 a proposal for communty study became a realty. Communty On the thrd floor of one wng of Woode Guthre College n Kelly quad, 48 students of the Expermental College lve and work together as a communty, tryng to ncorporate nto one the socal and academc worlds that are found so separate n a typcal unversty stuaton. Students are guded by three parttme faculty members Dr. Kenneth Abrams, Davd Schroer, and Marvn Kauksten. Students are strongly dscouraged aganst lvng outsde the Expermental College area because ths destroys the attempt to relate educaton nto day to day lfe. They are also advsed aganst Lakng any outsde courses whch mght prevent them from fully becomng a part of the Expermental College communty. The students learn from a varety of meda ncludng lectures, semnars, and ndvdual study. Last year a general theme of Man and Socety was chosen and ths topc was explored from many dfferent perspectves: Economcs and the ndvdual, Scence and Technology and the ndvdual, Poltcs and the ndvdual, Relgon and Phlosophy and the ndvdual, and Famly and the ndvdual. A recommended, standard readng lst was used as a bass upon whch the man theme was dsussed. n addton to ths ndepth study of man's relaton to socety was the formaton of common nterest or affnty groups based on the student's ndvdual nterests. The groups formed around a wde varety of subjects ncludng women's lberaton, black dentty and the urban crss. The thrd academc program was n the form of an ndvdual semnar. The content and presentaton was left.entrely up to the ndvdual. Ths was the least structured aspect of the academc areas. "Too Rgd" However unstructured ths program was the students decded t was too rgd and ddn't meet ts potental. The followng fall semester an attempt was made to open t up. A group met and decded to no longer restrct readng and subjects of learnng. More freedom was gven to the ndvdual. He was gven the opportunty to decde on the books he wanted to read and to go where hs nterest guded hm. Ths year there s no core currculum, but there are alternatves. Students can partcpate n semnar groups on dverse topcs ncludng counterculture and revoluton. They also take part n encounter groups and experence from each other through senstvty sessons. How does ths method of learnng ft n to that of the tradtonal structured unversty? One semester of the lxpermental College s equvalent to 5 upper level lberal arts credts. All grades are gven on a passno credt bass. here are no professors standng n the front of a lecture hall pressurng students to work. 'Me functons of the faculty members are to gude n the semnars and to serve as references for the students who need academc assstance. The faculty also serves as conductors and partcpants n the semnars. ndvdual ntatve stmulates.learnng. "The Expermental College s not a comfortable place to goof off," sad Abrams. "There s a tremendous amount of peer group pressure to partcpate. The Expermental College s one of the most vtal lvng experences on campus." When studyng the orgnal proposals for the college one may wonder f all the hopes have become realty. ncluded n the proposals were plans for an ndepth study of educaton, ts mechansms and ts goals, a playreadng group, presentaton of flms, operaton of a specal book store whch would carry books otherwse not avalable, hall meetng to decde on the dutes of the RA and other members. The formal floor plan wasn't carred through completely. Yet, educaton was always the queston on the floor. Judgement Abrams sad, "t can't be judged on how closely t has conformed to the proposals. t should be judged on the good t does for the people n t. Most of the students thought the Expermental College was a good atmosphere n whch learnng could take place. Some dropped out because they felt t was a good experence for them but they ddn't want any more of t. For some t revtalzed ther academc lfe and made them better students n requred course work. For others t's Aden them wperspectve on ther relatonshp to the educatonal process. Some who chose the Expermental College were gvng the academc world a last chance and left because they couldn't make t here ether. They learned n the Expermental College that they ddn't want any more hgher educaton." A journal was to be kept by every student and faculty member contanng a record of each ndvdual's response and relatonshp to the program. Groups of students and faculty meet and evaluate the program and the work of each ndvdual. Ths determnes whether a student can reman n the program or not.

11 March. 97 Page What's a Car? How to Be An Automotve Genus By KEN LANG n pror automotve columns, we have assumed that our readers know somethng about cars. For those of you who don't, we present ths feature to gve you a workng knowledge of same. Bascally, there ame two types of car bodes, sedan and sports, wth all others fallng nto a mddle ground. Sedans are utltaran vehcles, best descrbed as three boxes, a small box up front (engne), a small box out back (luggage) and a large box n the mddle (people). n some cases, the engne s n.back and the luggage s n front. When that occurs, we crafty automotve wrters call the result "rear drve." (Classc example Volkswagen Beetle.) Rear drve puts all the motve equpment over the drve wheels for tracton, ncreasng luggage and nteror space and savng drveshaft weght. Most cars are bult wth the engne up front and drve tran transmttng power to the rear wheels. Ths s called "front engne/rear drve." Anyone seeng an advantage to ths system should wrte Statesman Automotve and tell us. A thrd system has engne and drvetran up front, "front wheel drve" found n Saabs. Another system has the engne just ahead of the rear wheels, ths called "mdengne," found n some sports cars. Sedans and dervatves, come n assorted szes. Supposedly, overall sze relates to nteror room, but many compact foregn cars offer nteror room superor to larger domestc models. To begn wth, there are the subcompact models, (Volkswagen, Vega and Pnto), offerng seatng for four n a small (under 5' overall) sze. Next are compacts (Maverck, Hornet, Toyota), wth more room for four passengers, plus an occasonal ffth n a 56' sze. The ntermedates allow the ffth passenger and larger luggage space n a 67' sze. Greater than 7 mark the realm of the fullsze sedan, and luxury personal cars. One of the rones of automobla s explanng how Mercedes 3SEL's can be slghtly smaller than domestc ntermedates and have greater nteror room. The reason for ths, as for the relatvely larger nteror of foregn sedans (Volvo, Toyota, Austn Amerca), s "space utlzaton." Rememberng our "three box" explanaton, f one allows the engne "box" to be just ag enough to ft the engne and moves the wheels to the edges, t makes for a bgger pssenger box. When combned wth frontwheeldrve, ths also expands trunk space. Ths helps explan the popularty of foregn cars (also, the ntolerable watng lst for Mercede's). When some brght engneer dscovered how to strengthen the front and real pllars of a bedan, no mddle column was needed, creatng the hardtop. Some brghter desgner put on a raksh slope developng the coupe. Now snce some dots nsst on puttng mddle pllars on some coupes, we have hardtop coupes (no pllar) sedan coupes (pllar), hardtops and sedans. Where the rear becomes such that a hardtop becomes a coupe s the same pont where a stream becomes a rver,.e., the adman's provnce. Snce coupe denotes 'sportness," t also explans why factores put large V8's only n the coupes. Over a decade ago, the dyng Studebaker Company produced" a car that would nfluence a u t o m o b le des gn tremendously. The car, the Avant, couldn't save the company, but the dea of a sporty fourseater wth a long hood and short rear deck produced an exctement that Detrot couldn't overlook. Not long afterward, Corvar "Monza" was produced. Ford put a V8 n the hardtop Falcon, and wth lmted expectatons produced a twoseater hardtop named Mustang. The success of Mustang created an entre market of sales, for those who wanted sports car mage wth more room. The second great mpact on Detrot was created when "bg" V8 engnes were dropped nto the ntermedate sedans. Some ntermedates stayed as sedans and hardtops, (Plymouth Roadrunner), others, aded by w nd tunneltested aerodynamcs, became streamlned coupes, (Dodd Charger Daytona wth ponted nose and wngmounted spoler). Lately, the hgh cost of theme supermars, as they are known, coupled wth outrageous nsurance surchages, have resulted n smaller modes, cleverly called "Junor Supercars." Ordnary compacts get ntermedate (336 cubc nch) V8 engnes. The resultng cars are slghtly slower than supercars, but are provng successful wth lower prces and better nsurance breaks. The frst examples were the Nova SS396 and the Rambler SC/39. They were phenomenal n straght lne acceleraton but suffered from an excess of "understeer." Understeer s the tendency for a car to go straght n a turn, necesstatng more steerng effort. Now a lttle understeer s nce, but the mpresson one gets s that the lttle beastes don't ever want to turn! Luckly, the new breed of Junor Supercars have excellent handlng. Among the breed are the Duster 34, Hornet SC/36, Nova SS35 and Comet GT3. Unfortunately, almost all these neat trcks come n coupes wth extravagant pant jobs to alert neghbors (and fuzz) that you own a "hot" car. f you could have a Duster 34 n a plan 4door Valant body, you mght then have a sports sedan.

12 l.wnter Recap' and Statstcs n F r day's l Statesman!. Page Pats End Wth 736 Wn; Record Advances To 5 By MKE LEMAN The Stony Brook basketball team closed out ther season wth a decsve 736 vctory over Frankln Marshall, Saturday nght on the loser's court. The wn brought the Patrots fnal record to 5. Despte a poor shootng game (79), the Pats were able to lead the contest from start to fnsh on the strength of a powerful defense. "We took away ther offense wth our defense," sad Coach Roland Massmno, explanng how hs team held Frankln and Marshall to only sx feld goals and 5 ponts n the frst half. ntramurals ntermttently Sprng Sports Lull Foul Shots Most of the Pats' scorng punch came from the foul lne, as SB players vsted the charty strpe for 49 opportuntes at the basket, convertng on 9 of them. The leader n ths department was Roger Howard, who talled of hs 4 ponts from the strpe. The Patrots jumped off to a 6 lead at the outset and held an eght of nne pont advantage SPORTS CALENDAR Women's Basketball Thurs. March 4 away at Molloy 7 p.m. Squash Thurs. Sun.

At the close of the openng mnutes the Pat lead read 345. n the second half, Frankln and Marshall used a press n an attempt to narrow the margn, but the Pats were stll able to move well. Wth seven mnutes to go the advantage reached 5 ponts, so when the teams played gve and take from there the dfference n the scores remaned constant. Foul Trouble The game went smoothly for the Patrots as the home team was never really able to get close n the later stages of the contest. Only the absence of Art Baclawsk, sttng wth foul trouble n both halves, threatened any dffculty. Wthout Art, Coach Massmno made good use of both Erc Shanro and Ron Holle up front. n addton, Gene Wllard, playng n hs last college game, "ended up a good career and helped out n the last fve or sx mnutes" accordng to the coach.

Bronze MedalTo Judoman John Fqueroa, pctured above, recently captured a slver medal n the New York State Judo Champonshps. That fne performance enabled Fqueroa, the top judoman on Stony Brook's varsty team, to qualfy as a member of the New York State Natonal Team whch wll compete n the Senor Judo Natonal's beng held n St. Lous later n the year. Fqueroa (Shodan) st Degree Black Belt competed n the extremely compettve Unlmted Dvson for Black Belts n the New York State Elmnatons. The mpressveness of Fqueroa's thrd place Bronze medal fnsh s emphaszed by the calber of the 'judomen' that garnered the frst and second place medals. The Gold medal wnner was last year's Natonal Champon and the Slver medal was garnered by the "All France" Champon and last year's second place Natonal fnsher. Both of these judomen are (Yodan) 4th Degree Black Belts. By placng n the State Champonshps, Fqueroa becomes the frst judoman n the hstory of Stony Brook Judo to accomplsh such a feat. photo by Mke Amco as the game progressed, and everyone saw at least four mnutes of acton. The Patrots exhbted a balanced scorng attack as three men ht double fgures. Howard had 4, Andy Smmons threw n 3, whle Bll Myrck led the squad wth 7. t was also a team effort off the boards as the players boxed out well. Steve Danhouser, the njured backeourtman, dd not accompany the team on the trp. He suffered a dslocated knee and torn cartlages n Wednesday nght's vctory over Yeshva, and he wll wear a cast for the next three weeks. BOX SCORE Baclawsk Howard Smmons Myrck Davdson Wllard Shapro Holle Jones Holowna Koch TOTALS Statesman The team ended ther season by defeatng Suffolk Communty College last Frday nght on Suffolk's home court by a score of 747. The Patrots were met wth a vocal contngent of rooters, possbly the largest number of Stony Brook fans to watch a freshman game ths season. The Stony Brook fans had a lot to cheer about as the Patrots rpped off the frst ponts of the game and battled for the rest of the half to go down to the locker room wth a 453 lead. Steve Nastusak was the bg gun for the frosh n the half pourng n fve feld goals and two foul shots for a total of ponts. The Patrots exploded to a pont lead but then fzzled out. Passng became erratc and. offensve reboundng stopped, brngng Stony Brook's scorng attack to a halt. About eght turnovers later, Stony Brook's lead dssolved and the game was ted at 65. t was foul shootng that agan provded the wnnng margn for the Patrots, as Kevn McNells, Blly Burke, and Jm Murphy all connected on foul shots that provded the wnnng margn. Chrs Ryba, battlng the pan of a bad back throughout the contest, deserves recognton for the fne game he played. He collected, ponts and pulled down a bg rebounds. The frustraton for Suffolk was too much to contan. As the fnal buzzer sounded, Suffolk players started swngng. Some FROM 7r: Pat star Bran Davdson attempts to snk ball n recent game. Patrots fnshed season 5. photo by Robert F. Cohen Cark Captures Tourney n recent years Stony Brook has establshed complete supremacy over Metropoltan Squash Assocaton opponents. But before last Sunday, no Patrot has ever been able to garner a Stevens nvtatonal Tournament Champonshp. Late Sunday afternoon Chrs Clark, the Pat's racquet ace, ended the vctory drought by defeatng the tourney's defendng champ, Larry Hlbert of Fordham, n four games. Joe Burden, Stony Brook's number three player, naled down the champonshp of the consolaton bracket. Frday's Statesman wll detal the story of these mportant ndvdual trumphs. Suffolk fans also felt compelled to make ther presence known. Wth the help of polce statoned at the game, thngs were brought under control wth no great harm done. t was an unfortunate end to a tremendous season. One can only speculate on the value of ths year's freshman players to next year's varsty team. Murphy Nastusak Ryba McNells Green Kaser Scharnberg Burke Women's bas 'ketball results Fordham o ver SB, 86 March, 97 Frosh Sneak By Suffolk, 747 By MCHAEL VNSON f the reason that the freshman basketball team dd so well could be summed up n one word, t would have to be teamwork. The assst column has become as mportant to the players as the ponts scored. Ths coupled wth an overabundance of talent enabled the team to comple the best freshman record n the hstory of Stony Brook. They wound up wnnng 89% of ther games, fnshng up wth 6 wns aganst losses. Box Score Racquetmen Blast Plebes The Stony Brook squash team traveled to West Pont for ther last annual encounter wth the Cadet Plebes. A couple of hours and an 8 vctory later the reason for elmnatng the Plebes from the Patrots' squash future was evdent. Compettvely West Pont's verson of freshmen were no match for even a severely weakened Pat contngent. Stony Brook may be droppng the Plebes from ther future plans but that fact wll not erase the name Army from next season's schedule. The Pats, n the mdst of engagng bgtme opponents, got the nod to take on the 'bg boys' of the Army varsty next tme around. The Patrots took the trp upstate wth a makeshft lneup and even a standn coach. The racquetmen were wthout the servces of Stu Goldsten, stll out wth an njury, Joel Gross, sck wth the flu, and Mtch Perkel, takng the day off. The squash team's erstwhle coach, Bob Snder, was so sck wth the case of the flu that he gave to Gross that John Ramsey was pressed nto servce as nterm 'Chaperone.' For those racquetmen that dd compete the match was not ther severest test of the year. Chrs Clark, playng one, Mke Barkan, three, Charle Schwebert, fve, Steve Rabnowtz, sx, Arne Klen, seven, and Steve Elsten~nne, all chalked up easy straght game wns. Joe Burden, number two, and Danny Kaye, four, were extended to four games for ther trumphs. Stan Frefeld ran out of steam, as he lost the team's only match n fve games. Paul Kommel posted a straght game wn n an exhbton tenth match.
